Why do you say thank you for listening?

Why do you say thank you for listening? Because as far as I know, "listening" is mostly used for subordinates to leaders, senior leaders, or younger generations to elders, so you can use the humble word "listening".

1. "Listen" means to bend down and listen carefully. Usually, it is mostly used for subordinates or masses to leaders, and the younger generation can also be used for elders, but it is slightly far-fetched. To put it bluntly, the word "listening" applies to people with a huge gap between the two levels. For example, we often say that "we listened to the instructions of a certain head and were deeply inspired, encouraged and excited"; When used for elders, it is common to say "we listen to your old teaching" or "we are all ears to listen to your old teaching".

2. Because the word "listening" has a conventional component, it is generally used for specific big people. However, whether it is a big shot or a general leader, it is obviously inappropriate and inappropriate to use "thank you for listening" after speaking. "Listening" means looking up. Speaking to the audience in this way, the speaker himself is tantamount to self-promotion, not in line with the original intention of modesty, but also appears neither fish nor fowl.

If you insist on using the word "listen" because of the need to artificially raise a leader, knowing that he is not qualified, it can only be used by subordinates, and it makes sense to say it from subordinates. For example, artificially raising a county-level leader "we just listened to the words of a director and benefited a lot" to make a long person enjoy it. Anyway, wearing a tall hat, knowing that you are not qualified, also feels very useful. But the speaker himself said "thank you for listening", which is tantamount to self-promotion and boasting. I believe in the speaker himself, so I meant to be modest, but I used it backwards and didn't understand the meaning of "listening"
